Special Needs Trusts

*Offsite
Monday, Nov 20, 12:00pm to 1:00pm

A special needs trust is a legal arrangement that enables a physically or mentally disabled or chronically ill individual to receive income without reducing one’s eligibility for the government-funded disability benefits from Social Security, SSI, or Medicaid.

Learn how to make gifts or leave bequests to loved ones who rely on means-tested benefits for support.

Johanna Allex, Partner at Stafford Rosenbaum LLP, and Kevin Hayde, Executive Director at WisPACT, will educate attendees on the following:

    who requires a special needs trust
    the different types 
    how to navigate the process of starting a special needs trust
    the benefits of setting one up
    how to give or leave a gift to someone with a special needs trust
